In the deep courtyard of Wu County in the south of the Yangtze River, Shen Qingyan has been accustomed to the entanglements between people since he was a child. Her stepmother stirred up the situation, and her biological mother's past was shrouded in mystery. She gathered all her strength and planned every step of the way.
She met Xie Linyuan during an old water transport case. He was the noble and elegant son of the Xie family. He reached out to her in times of crisis, accompanied her through many traps, and blocked open and hidden arrows.
He understands her tenacity and loves her softness; she knows his ambition and is content with his embrace, playing alone in the past and year after year in the future.
